Default RE: FG Monster Truck (Gas) vs Traxxas Revo (Nitro)

Appreciate the advice guys...

Right,

1. You say it's not a Leopard body shell. Do you know if its very difficult to customize a standard Leopard body shell to fit a Marder?
2. Very nice (The Pitstop Tuning Marder)! What did you do to the body shell at the front. Does not look standard?
3. I read alot of driver's say the FG pipe gives more bottom end power. The samba is more a topend power pipe. Any comments on this? Which one will have the best sound?
4. I think I'll go for the Medium MT tires then...
5. I'll go for the holes in the rims...
6. The foam inserts are available. Don't know if I'm gonna fit then though...
7. Right, I'll take your word for that. I'll get me a 16/48 gearset.
8. It seems that all the mentioned parts are only to make the car more robust. I think I'm gonna wait until the stuff starts to break. Then I'll start with the reinforcing.

One or 2 other things...

Are there anything worth fitting to get the Marder's handling better (thats now with the MT tires fitted). I don't like the idea of a car rolling over all the time. What about the wheel spacers? Does it make a difference? Anyway, if you guys can recommend suspension upgrades thats worth the money, please let me know.

Thanks
